I haven't beaten the game yet but playing as Columbia right now. I started off by declaring on and quickly over running Panama to gain the canal and built while waiting for Brazil to declare on me. Right now north Brazil down to the Amazon except under Suriname (saw a bunch of tanks building up so took the area by Peru and took out the tanks) I also took out Guyana as well as northward taking Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. On a laptop so I can't exactly leave it running for long periods of time but use the endday cheat to get builds up quickly. Have 2 main problems right now one is that I have trouble balancing the budget, and another is that all of S. America hates me and Chile already declared (except for Venezuela who I allied with and planning to turn on after conquering the whole hemisphere, and not sure the best way to take on Chile without giving them a huge border to hit.

As for the off topic discussion, Bush was an idiot who screwed the country over and the large amount of people who don't like the US is from us dropping bombs wherever we feel like. In other words we should do something about ISIS because they are a threat to the world and we should take advantage of the fact that the five permanent members of the UN Security Council being threatened by them and keep the US flag out of Syria and Iraq, while keeping in mind that actions have consequences and we shouldn't feel free to screw with anyone we want.

You're probably from the same third world, f***ed country as some of those ba**ards who flew planes into the trade towers. If it wasn't for the USA, the world would be in deep s**t. However, I do agree they need to stop being the world's police and mind their own business (at times). But still, long live the USA.

Yeah I got one, if you get your membership canceled with the UN, your economy is going to look like a pile of dog **censored**. By the way Kosovo is not technically a country but rather a province of Serbia.

There is a way to make an country go to war with you. First make sure that they hate you. Build up a fairly capable air force with plenty of missiles. Then garrison troops in the cities closet to their borders. At last scrap all your GROUND troops. YES SCRAP THEM. After a while they will declare war. Use your air force to beat the crap out of them and halt any advances they make. While this is going on start building new ground forces starting with fast building light units and then build some decent units. After you start gaining the upperhand take there CAPITOLS and you will crush them. Repeat untill the world is yours!

or just do like me if your pro, i engaged the whole eastern europe after a few conquest, they declared war on me (i played as germany) and made an economic-warfare machine before entering to war (didnt take a while) then i started building loads of leopards and eventually ended up with Ion Panthers A-2 (uber tanks)

if your pro, you can do like me and pickup a wealthy country then fight the whole eastern and west-northern europe along with the west

european countries i fought after continental war broke out:

Poland
Norway
Sweden
Finland
Spain
Portugal
Ukraine
Serbia
Bulgary
Moldova
Romania
Montenegro
United Kingdoms
Canada (duh, so soon in the war: unreachable somehow)
Italy (hardcore push was needed, took hours, same was for France before i conquered it and then others started declare war, a fatal mistake)

and even some other smaller countries (werent important enough i guess) that i forgot

you just need a brain, for me i had over 1100 leopard battallions in service and just about another 1200 in reserve (retreating and repairing them as much as possible when low on HP)

so i successfully managed to take on Italy and Spain at the same time while defending all the northern and eastern line

THIS TACTIC IS FOR EXPERIENCED RTS PLAYERS, YOU MIGHT FAIL HARD IF YOU JUST STARTED !!!

Before you even unpause the game the first time, you go to the defence minister screen, click on his portrait and switch off the options that allow him to build units. Let him handle the garrisons, anything else you want to do yourself.

Same goes for tax minister, dont let him handle social spending, he will bankrupt you.

Science minister is not allowed to do anything at all, you want to chose which techs to research and what units to research.

you can also lock your ministers from controlling each trade good, so if you want to stockpile military goods, lock the minister from the control of that item, turn the sales off.

To make money, i suggest actually just building way more military goods factories than you need, and lots of coal power plants.
Coal is the cheapest power until fusion.
Cheap energy makes your industry run cheaper, military goods are always in high demand, and you crank out all the military goods you can and sell them.

Grab some oilfields too, and your cash will just keep going up.

Im the one who wrote about the trade cheat before, and i never even bother to use it anymore, cause its easy to balance your economy, even when using a small country like israel or denmark.

Oh one very important thing to consider, only build industry in the land that is loyal to you, otherwise production takes a hit.

You're probably from the same third world, f***ed country as some of those ba**ards who flew planes into the trade towers. If it wasn't for the USA, the world would be in deep s**t. However, I do agree they need to stop being the world's police and mind their own business (at times). But still, long live the USA.

By the way bro, we Arabs/Muslims didn't fly planes into your trade towers, and your a Kid for blaming us all. We have shit in our countries because Zionistic-Controlled countries like yours want us to appear and be weak to the world, so that everyone can kill and crush and bail without a problem.

Fucking kid, don't talk when you don't know how the fuck your country was created bro, if it wasn't for USA, Israel would not exist. If Israel didn't exist, Arab countries would be the ruling capitals of the world.

People of USA are cool, I respect each and every one of you, even dumb ass fuckers like yourself, but the government needs to change, and Israel needs to get Nuked.

I agree with that guy who wrote that huge comment about the bugs in the game, and I just want to tell you how I play...:-

I'm Egyptian, so I naturally play as Egypt. First of all, the game is based on speculation, and TOO MANY changes to this "2020" world state. When I start, I immediately want to build troops and a strong Military, and I build slow, but of course, it's Egypt and we can only build slow. But then I want to grow an economy so i can build faster. Petroleum is little. No Uranium and Egypt is in Africa, and every day discoveries of Uranium mines are being made. My Economy cannot grow no matter what I do, and my FUCKING ministers screw everything up. For example, I am trying to spam military goods, but I don't want the retard to keep selling it, and when I stockpile, the guy starts stockpiling everything else, and I don't mind this, except the second I switch it off, he starts selling it all again. My Economy is dead. Every factory I build, I have to build like 20 mines of some random crap like Coal (Which Egypt doesn't have, although is in the top-rated countries in the world for Coal/Natural Gas Wtf mate?). So, I, naturally, rage, and I look at ways to hack my economy. I look at Saudi Arabia, which happens to just sit on it's ass and get cash like no other country in the game, and they love me when I trade them, so I buy some military good/consumer goods/water anything basically, and sell to Saudi and buy it back for less. In a few minutes I have made about 500K Million cash, and I do this to many countries, such as Pakistan, China, Russia, Japan (amazing for military goods ninja-ing).

Next, I wanna start my Military, and I notice Israel always declares on Syria first for the lolz, and then Israel rapes Syria for a few minutes, and then Syria sends the whole world down and advances on Israel, and then Israel just dies, which makes me rage because I want a piece of the action. No point in military research, just hack more money and then buy from US for x50 the price but no problems, I have almost unlimited Money. I build a few land factories, my money does not stop going down. I reserve units, my "reserves" disappear. I HAVE 82 MILLION POPULATION AND I GOT 600K RESERVES? - In real life, Egypt is estimated at 4 million RESERVED, and who knows how many more cuz they hide the true info.

Now, Military. I had to build aircraft fabs because somehow Egypt has none (6th largest aircraft force in the world today, and soon to be 5th or 4th), and Egypt has no Naval fabs (also in top ranks in the world), and my units are only 300 (10th/11th largest Military in the world), so I start to build. I leave the game on for... 2 days, and come back to see I have like a trillion debt, my minister has sold like 12 billion reserves of military goods/industrial goods like a retard, and that every single country is making money and just dying. Oh and Israel got screwed.

I have Units everywhere, and even though I only wanted tanks, I see alot of other random bull being made, no matter what I do. I have the latest tech. I have the largest Military in the world. I have all the power I need, and the second I make war on some random country like Chad (who I have 100% on - High Volatility), UN starts to hate me, and my economy immediately starts dying again after re-scamming other countries.

War tactics:- Satellites are useless, dont work. Most Tech don't work. All my units LOVE chilling near the enemy capital eating Hommos, and I have to send 200 supply planes to fuel them, and every 2 hexes they die again, so I give up and end up Nuking the crap out of the Capital, WHICH TAKES LIKE 15 NUKES TO DIE ?!?!?!?!?!?! (Nukes are very Nerfed in this game, Russia has Nukes in real life that can wipe out a continent, and 1 nuke can't kill a tank? - Oh and M1A1 tanks and above are immune to Nukes). Why are there no Silos? Why are Nukes so fake?

My Military moves in and wipes Chad, and they all die, and it takes me about a month in-game to refuel every single one and return them back to base.

There are so many bugs, I can't keep typing like this, I want to declare war on US for a bit, so... Please fix these issues, I mean, the game is amazing, and I would buy it at 100$ if it was just tweaked so as to make everything work in the game. It's the best strategy game out there, and everyone would buy it if it was fixed, so wtf are you guys doing... Watching us rage every 2 seconds, then use cheats, to find out some random country declared war on the other side of the world and makes me bankrupt cuz I have to release my units?

This is the best strategy game out there, don't ditch it and bail and make some fake ass game like Call of Duty, work on this day and night and make it pro, as it should be, and I guarantee I will be of the first people to buy this amazing game. Everyone wants to be their own country, and everyone wants to spam, make us do these things plox.

The US should stop helping all these countries IE UK,France(How many times has the US bailed you out from Germany??? Should have let the Germans kept your pussy ass country. Don't give a penny to another country let them starve take care of our own and close the border to Mexico. If the US would take care of it's self imagine how your other countries would be.

Yup! down with the USA! Most of their land was "bought" from Mexico anyway. Get out of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Also guys try playing Russia, in my exsperience they're waaay better than USA on game. More resources and massive army.

You're probably from the same third world, f***ed country as some of those ba**ards who flew planes into the trade towers. If it wasn't for the USA, the world would be in deep s**t. However, I do agree they need to stop being the world's police and mind their own business (at times). But still, long live the USA.

I have been trying the cheat CTRL+SHIFT+S but I can't even the menu to to come up its like some one made it up. I want to put UN option at 100 so the world won't kick me out of the U.N. Its impossible I have an alliance with every single country in the game but the 21 that hate me. It doesn't matter what country I am they kick me out of the U.N. Russia, America, England it doesn't matter. So dose any know why I can't even get the menu to come up?

wow.. it took you 6 years to beat russia with the US.... rofl i beat them in 5 years with poland.. not saying the US is weak i know they are alot stronger than poland and russia just saying you suck at this game :]
